Get your elbow out of the soup, you're sittin' on a chicken

Old Uncle Ed
Fell out his bed,
Busted his head on some old cornbread
Old Uncle Ed
Fell out his bed,
Busted his head on some old cornbread

To bed to bed says Sleepyhead
Wait a while says Slow
Put on a pot says Greedy Gut
Let's eat before we go

(Sittin' pretty)

Where's the grass greener?
On the other side
I said where's the grass greener?
On the other side

Old Uncle Ed
Fell out his bed
Busted his head on some old cornbread
To bed to bed says Sleepyhead
Wait a while says Slow

You're sittin' on a chicken
Aaaaaaaaoh….
Aaaaaaaaoh….

Oh baby I need some of that warm chicken right behind
After eatin' up... the reason...ooohhh….

Oh no all you can do is come inside and sit on my chicken
I don't want you sittin' on my chicken
You think I cooked that chicken so you could just come inside and sit on it?
I say uh uh-uh I ain't here for that
No no no no

So I'll tell you somethin'
Get your elbow out of my soup, you're sittin' on my chicken
Get your elbow out of my soup, you're sittin' on my chicken

I'll tell you somethin' else
Old Uncle Ed
Fell out his bed
Busted his head on some old cornbread
Poor old Uncle Ed

To bed to bed says Sleepyhead
Wait a while says Slow
Put on the pot says Greedy Gut
Let's eat before we go!
